Chapter 17 The Long Journey
This morning, after saying goodbye to Demi inside the castle and Ms. Stasi outside the castle, Rock set off with the team.
Rock, this horse is strong enough, doesn't it feel different?
It's a pity it's not mine. Miss Ellie heard that Knight Cullen's horse was injured and asked me to bring it to him.
Haha, look at what you said, I heard Larry say it, you kid—slick, it's not the same as Larry's assessment.
Hearing his words, the old knight Lawrence laughed, piercing the untruth in his words.
Captain, what does Knight Larry say about this kid, tell us.
That's right, it's going to take three days and two nights along the way, and I'll be idle!
A ten-person team, the captain is an old knight, and the others are apprentice knights, including Rock.
Rock was the youngest, and most of the others were over twenty years old. With the care of the old knight Lawrence, others showed goodwill to him.
The big Luke was also there, and he became an apprentice knight at some point.
At this moment, Rock is riding a maroon horse.
He didn't kill the red horse in the end, because Larry Knight's request, a knight's obsession with the war horse, couldn't see him ruining a good horse for a little thing.
Knight Larry took him for a lecture, gave him a black-striped sword, introduced him to Lawrence, and wrote a letter to Karen, promising Karen to give him another horse.
In doing so, what else can he say, he can only give up.
The injury to the lower back was neither serious nor light. The blade cut through the lower back and cut into the kidneys by a few centimeters. Fortunately, there was Larry's first-class healing medicine. action.
The apprentice knight is not an ordinary person. He has the energy of life in his body, and coupled with his strong physique, he can have this inhuman effect.
Little girl Ellie, wait for me. When you grow up, I will let you know that the society is dangerous. Rock was still haunted by the bear girl.
The destination is the town under the Caidu Mountain. The Caidu Mountain is in the original hinterland of the Sancai Valley, which is equivalent to the inner side of the entire valley, and the road to Karis City is in the opposite direction.
Several territories are both cooperative and competitive. In order not to cause trouble, the team will not enter other territories, and only take the public roads between territories.
The team kept moving forward, at a slow pace.
Luke walked aside with his head sullen, and compared to Rock, he was left out in the cold.
Rock glanced at him, thinking of his past deeds, he always felt that he was a man with a story.
I take the liberty to ask you, how old are you? This was the most curious thing about him.
Seventeen! Luke Urn said.
Said he was thirty-five years old, absolutely no one objected.
If you want to fight, don't think I'll be afraid of you if I lose. It was a little uncomfortable to be stared at by him.
What's your relationship with Arles? Roque asked again, without hearing a response, he added, Last time you lost, as the price of losing, I think you should keep the attitude you should have towards the victor. .
It doesn't matter, he pays for the training materials, and I help him with the work, that's all! Although reluctantly, Luke answered his words, and after he finished speaking, he took a few steps on horseback and kept a distance from him.
Mercenaries generally act, no wonder this guy has a bad reputation in the castle!
Captain Lawrence has taken this road many times. He is very familiar with the itinerary and has a well-organized arrangement. He did not encounter any beasts along the way, and soon entered the night.
Clean up the sleeping area, set up early warning lines of defense, set up insect repellent powder, and massage and feed the war horses.
The night in the wilderness was very lively, with all kinds of insects screaming, disturbing the newcomers to sleep, and beasts without long eyes attacked the camp. In the early morning, a hulking wild boar attacked them.
'Physical +0.1'
Looking at this wild boar that is more than four meters long and weighs more than 1 ton,
Rock couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart and stretched out his sinful hand.
After many days, he once again tasted the taste of collection. The higher the physical data, the harder it is to grow. He needs stronger collection objects, or long-term exercise. His physique has only increased by 0.1, and he is not disappointed.
Rock
Strength-1.8, Agility-1.6, Constitution-2.1, Spirit-1.5
Ability - Gathering (2/3)
An increase of 0.1 on the first day shows that you have chosen the right path, and leaving the castle is a wise choice.
A good start, cool! Rock was secretly happy.
For others, breakfast delivered to your door is a no-brainer.
In the wild, the easiest way to handle it is to roast meat.
Captain, there is something wrong with this meat, isn't it poisonous? Smelling the aroma of the barbecue, the fat Neil took a bite first, chewed it a few times, and looked strange.
Hearing this, Rock's heart tightened.
Maybe it's mutated, it shouldn't be poisonous, it's an old rule, eat whatever you want, you'll be at your own risk. Lawrence took a bite, responded vaguely, and swallowed the barbecue in his mouth without hesitation.
The closer you get to the Color Poison Mountain, more and more mutant creatures will appear. Some mutant creatures cannot be checked for toxicity. Most of them are beneficial to the knights' cultivation. It depends on whether the knights dare to eat them.
Then I'll eat it too! Neil prefers to eat grilled meat with a slightly poorer taste than dry food.
The others didn't say a word and nibbled up with a large piece of barbecue, including the two newcomers.
Tasting the slightly peculiar smell of grilled meat in his mouth, Rock's mind calmed down.
After breakfast, a group of people got on their horses and went on their way.
Today, they officially entered the wilderness and set foot on the hills and jungle roads overgrown with weeds. All the noble territories were left behind by them, and the distance was getting farther and farther.
It was another night, and the arrangement tonight was more cautious, especially in terms of preventing poisonous insects and snakes and other creatures. Lawrence took adequate measures. The ground of the entire camp was pre-sprayed with a layer of insect repellent powder, which made the newcomer’s scalp numb.
Haha, I'm not feeling well. You'll know when you arrive at the Color Poison Town. It's really nothing! Seeing Rock frowning, Lawrence laughed.
Every time he sees the newcomer like this, he feels very happy.
The captain is right, you will understand when you arrive at the color poison town.
Colorful Poison Town is a unique place that can make people forget to breathe---hahaha!
Many people agreed, but they didn't talk about the key points. They were full of bad taste. He heard a black line from Rock, and no one explained the details, which made him very helpless.
Captain, is there a division of apprentice knights? I said yes, the difference between different apprentice knights, how to distinguish between strong and weak. He changed the subject.
Of course there are. They are divided into low-level, intermediate-level, and advanced apprentice knights. They can only be distinguished by strength, but they are of little significance and can even be misleading. According to the experience the knights have accumulated over the years, strength is not the key to the breakthrough of apprentice knights, but the body itself.
Some people are naturally weak and physically strong, making them easy to become knights.
Regarding this point, Lawrence did not hide it, and gave many suggestions based on his years of cultivation experience.
For most people, the greater the strength, the higher the physical strength, but it cannot be used as a basis for judgment. In order not to discourage the enthusiasm of the younger generation, this judgment basis was not recognized by many nobles hundreds of years ago. At the end, he added a sentence.
After a while, Roque asked again: I heard that many people have special abilities, and they may be born when they break through the knight. Can you tell us?
After getting along all the way, he found that Lawrence was an easy-going person, without the arrogance of other knights, and was willing to teach the team members, and seemed approachable.
The apprentice knights were very interested in the special abilities when they broke through the knights, and listened to them one by one.
Haha, a group of ambitious little guys. Lawrence looked around for a week, saw them looking at him eagerly, and smiled happily.
I also thought about it when I was young. I'm not afraid of hitting you. The probability of having special abilities is very small, less than 1%.
Captain, who is the most likely person?
Physical strength is a prerequisite. Only those with outstanding strength and speed are possible, but only possible!
Lawrence shook his head gently. He couldn't tell for such a chance. Only a young man would have an idea, naively thinking that he could get it through training.
On the side, Rock was thoughtful, and there was something called 'ambition' in his eyes.
The flames burned, illuminating the campsite that had fallen into tranquility.
The night was getting deeper, and several chaotic footsteps came, disrupting the work and rest of the camp.
Who?
The patrolling guards shouted.
We are Baron Micah's guards, being chased by gray wolves, save us!
The visitor looked flustered, wearing old leather armor with new scratches on the leather armor, which were traces left by animal claws.
